Although gaming on Linux is gaining ground, It still has its weaknessesFor example, playing the popular game Fortnite natively and reliably on Linux is virtually impossible due to anti-cheat technologies. Furthermore, Epic's CEO has already stated that they won't even consider releasing the game for Linux unless they reach 10 million users. Fortunately, there are ways to achieve this, one of which is... GeForce NOW.
GeForce NOW is the NVIDIA's game streaming platformRight now, Linux users can use it from a web browser and from an unofficial app called GeForce InfinityHowever, in both cases it relies on the web or hybrid version to function. A more standalone application, like the Windows version, would be ideal, and it seems we'll soon be able to use something similar on Linux.
GeForce NOW as a native app for Linux
NVIDIA hasn't provided details about the Linux app, but it has been confirmed that it will be released. In fact, there's already something "for Linux," but it's limited to the Steam deckValve's console is a single device, and NVIDIA launched a native app It works perfectly in game mode. And can't this work on any other Linux distribution? In theory, yes, but since it doesn't include generic drivers, its functionality isn't guaranteed (and isn't recommended).
What he will launch soon is a native application for Linux in generalThis means it should work on any Linux desktop, but the details will be revealed when the app is officially released. Furthermore, this support will arrive alongside more games supported by the service.
Is GeForce NOW worth it? It largely depends on what you want to play. Currently, the service allows sessions of up to one hour, with no session limit, but this will soon change to a 100-hour monthly limit. It will be worthwhile in specific cases, such as playing on devices with limited resources or games that are impossible to install on Linux.
In any case, there will soon be a Linux app that will allow us to make decisions on the ground.
